School Doesn’t Matter

Reading and writing are boring.
History’s just a bunch of stupid dates.
Geography? That’s really not much for me;
I’m happy living right here in the States.
Math has all those numbers.
English is a chore.
Science takes up too much time,
that’s not what I’m here for.

My duties at the frat house are demanding.
They sometimes interfere with higher ed.
So does sleeping late into the morning,
after I’ve been smashed out of my head.
Homework is a bother,
you have to write and spell.
I borrow someone else’s,
it works out pretty well.

All in all I’d say it’s most important,
“To thine own self...” uh...something, and some stuff.
That’s why I think prayer and education,
uh, something...uh...er, well, I’ve said enough.
I guess I didn’t learn that much,
or open up my mind.
The thing that I remember is
to leave no beer behind.
Now I am a poster boy
for wasted, misspent youth.
To the nerds and squares
and those who care
it’s time to tell the truth.
School doesn’t matter, I’m the president,
I never got better than a “C”.
School doesn’t matter, I’m the president,
look at me!
